Abstract
A medium feeding apparatus includes a feed roller to feed a medium, a driving source to generate a driving force for driving the feed roller, a driving force transmission assembly to transmit the driving force to the feed roller, an applying part to apply a load against rotation of the feed roller, and control circuitry to control the driving source. The control circuitry controls the driving source to stop the feed roller and keeps the driving force transmission assembly static.
Claims8
A medium feeding apparatus comprising:
- a feed roller to feed a medium;
- a driving source to generate a driving force for driving the feed roller;
- a driving force transmission assembly to transmit the driving force to the feed roller;
- an applying part to apply a load against rotation of the feed roller;
- and
- control circuitry configured to control the driving source,
- wherein the control circuitry controls the driving source to stop the feed roller and keeps the driving force transmission assembly static.
A method for feeding a medium, the method comprising:
- feeding a medium by a feed roller;
- generating a driving force for driving the feed roller by a driving source;
- transmitting the driving force to the feed roller by a driving force transmission assembly;
- applying a load against rotation of the feed roller by an applying part;
- controlling the driving source to stop the feed roller;
- and
- keeping the driving force transmission assembly static.
A computer-readable, non-transitory medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program causes a medium feeding apparatus including a feed roller to feed a medium, a driving source to generate a driving force for driving the feed roller, a driving force transmission assembly to transmit the driving force to the feed roller, and an applying part to apply a load against rotation of the feed roller, to execute a process,
- the process comprising:
- controlling the driving source to stop the feed roller;
- and
- keeping the driving force transmission assembly static.
